Every time he hits a bad shot 'oh the pressure's getting to him.' Its never because, you know, he just hit a bad shot. 'Oh he got a little quick and overcooked that one, must be the nerves.' Maybe he just hit a ****ing bad shot. I can't wait for him to win 3 or 4 more tournaments this year and a major to shut this idiot up and let us hear guys like Maltbie who sometimes says something insightful."
Yeah. I mean I know he had bad follow-throughs on some of his Sunday swings at Augusta but everyone is quick to say PRESSURE. SUNDAY. GENE SARAZEN. RAE'S CREEK. GOLF LORE. lol.
Some days you just wake up and aren't hitting it as well as usual. His "Sunday struggle" as it were, could be one of two things (or more):
1) Naaaaaaahvs as Faldouche would be really quick to say.
2) Some days you just aren't hitting it your best.
Media almost NEVER says number 2. It's always 1. No matter what it's always nerves. Because it sounds good and makes the tournament sound super important and stuff.
I mean, we all know nobody ever has a bad round on a Thursday at a run of the mill tour stop. Nope. Doesn't happen. Only bad rounds are Sunday's at Augusta.
